Warner Bros. 'Gangster Squad' Trailer Just Released

Posted byBy Joe Cohen | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Warner Bros. just released the trailer for the shoot’em up crime drama Gangster Squad.

The story takes place 1949 in Los Angeles, where Brooklyn born mob king Mickey Cohen is in full control of the city. He is making a large sum of money from drugs, guns, prostitution and every numbers racket west of Chicago. He does this all with the protection of his violent goons, corrupt police, and politicians who are on his pay roll. After his criminal success, a small team of LAPD outsiders who have not subscribed to his corruptions, will come together to bring down the city’s most dangerous mafia boss of all time.

The film stars Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Nick Nolte, Robert Patrick, Michael Peña, Giovanni Ribisi, Anthony Mackie, Emma Stone, and Sean Penn.

Gangster Squad is directed by Ruben Fleischer who also directed Zombieland, and 30 Minutes Or Less. This will be his first feature without Jesse Eisenberg and his second outing with Stone. It is scheduled for release later this year.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
